Okay. Bad week, I had. Lost my HP. ANd I still havent finish my surgery practical exam. Not my fault because when I went to Valakno’s hospital, my ever pemalas surgery teacher asked me to come back on Monday. Crap

So. WIthout my HP, I cant connect to the internet. Im using Sues computer right now (and her internet connection but no sweat k ill pay for the loss bytes). Life is so hard. About getting a new HP. Im planning to get an iPhone. Here it is 21000 rubles (thats about 3k RM). So im still comparing, and contemplating whether or not I should buy the iPhone here, in Malaysia or maybe I should ask Hir to buy in UK (someone told me that 1 pound is about 5RM.. if that is the case, meaning buying an iPhone in UK would be the best choice.

So many things to do. So little time. Liubi’s document, vaccination. And the regulations that you cant bring back kittens below than 6 months old to Malaysia. Pening.

 

Breathe In. Breathe out.

This week Ill be busy settling all my debts.. the major ones are my practical exams.. been delaying until I receive a news that those who haven’t finished their practical exams by next week will have some problems.. Ape lagi.. kelam kabut lah saya baru terhegeh hegeh nak start buat practical exam today (as in im writing this at 2am in the morning). Mane lah aku tau bende ni ade due date.. I thought you can do it bile bile dlm 1st sem.. University ni kalau pasal notice memang cam bangang. They think they can ISP informations direct into our head is it. 

 

Its always like this. Semester yg paling relax..semester tu lah byk bende tak settle. Its like preparing for a class with the least material to read, but you think its ok. Lil bit only.. and then sampai besok tak habis bace.. The things that we took for granted. Sigh. SOmebody ketuk me!!! 

 

This week byk tasks. Social medicine individual work.Thats 1. Research project. Thats 2. Plus practical exams. Total 5 things to settle this week. I am soooo soooo sooo dead. 

Btw…Im on detox diet.. starting with only fluid for this 3 days followed by raw fruits and veges a month. The reward - binge on Saturday hahahaha.

I was eyeing for their boots about 2 weeks until I finally decided to get one yesterday. So happy..! See, since my last long black boots have already been destroyed during my Eurotrip last time, its time for me to get a new one. I mean, long and black. Survey survey survey.. and I got one from Kira Plastinina. This 16 years old Russian  designer, is amazing, considering she has more than 50 boutiques in the world.. including in Hollywood and New York. GIle lah. If you live in the US you can buy her stuff online. Gosh, 16 years old can you believe it?!. At 16 years old all I know I was busy cheer-leading.. 

 

more at www.kiraplastinina.us/ or  www.kiraplastinina.ru

Btw, I got it cheaper than the one they sold in the U.S. Its 138.00USD. Got it for 2700rubs.. Credits to Tini’s discount club card. Haha. 

Tsk tsk.. 16 years old???…

No free time to melanguk anymore (i.e. game / sleep / melanguk atas katil).. because after class I will have an ‘extra co-curriculum classes’ at Sokol. I hardly watch TV anymore. Last time I used to watch news  just to keep in touch with the world outside Russia. But ever since I subscribed to Night Plan Megaphone, I just wake up every morning to surf news, surf facebook, read my emails, chat with abah.. and this and that without restraining myself from opening unnecessary pages or websites. My daily routine nowadays - go to class in the morning / lecture –> then come back –> prepare for tomorow’s topic –> go to Sokol –> back in hostel + shower –> rest + dinner –> homework overview –> sleep. Only the difference is in Sokol there are different classes everyday. So… takdelah monotonous hidup ini. 

 

For autumn timetable, Sokol offers :

Monday - Step basic + ABS, UT +, Body Pump, ABS + Stretch classes.

Tuesday - Yoga beg, Pilates ,TaeBo,  Strip dance, ABS, Latin dance classes

Wednesday - Step intermediate, ABS stretch, Dance technique, Step Combo, Stretch, Yoga Beg, Callanetics, Perenatal.

Sunday - Callanetics, Cycling, Step combo, Pilates mat, Oriental, Edinoborctva (I have no idea what is it).

 

Usually I will go to at least one class / day + cardio threadmill for 1 hr. 

 

I feel healthy!. Oh by the way, if anyone interested in joining Sokol, its 10 000 rubles per year.

Just got back from Pharmacorpus College after Deepa Raya - lah! concert 08. For the first time, Malaysian ambassador came to our concert (never in history). The ceremony was ok lah. Same people doing same thing every year. These things are not so exciting anymore for me. 

 

Just organized my wardrobe. Took out my winter attires and it took me 1 hour and a half to sort of my clothes. As usual, there must be a system, even for a closet. 

 

So Last Friday I went to Dance Mix class in Sokol after cardio. The instructor used Fergie’s my hump song. Rad!. I feel like Im one of the dancers in her music video. Haha. Today we went to Step Combo class followed by cardio. Step COmbo was really tiring! It burns ur fat while toning ur mm at the same time. I like it most compared to others. Tomorrow going to cycling class. Cycling class is a must at least once a week because I need to cut those extra inches from my thighs. Sigh if only I am super rich and super famous… Liposuction terus!. Tada - Jessica alba’s hot bod. CIt. 

 

Most important thing I learn here is, never trust anyone as ur friend. I mean you can be friends but you just can’t trust people. Especially people who talk bad about their ‘friends’. 99% they’re talking about you too.  Whatever. 

 

Some people gossips. Some people ‘layan’ their significant other. Some people play comp games. I go to SOkol. :)

Im having a core cycle (int med) right now but still never fail to go to Sokol Fitness Club everyday to make sure my annual fee is worth every penny. 

 

Currently, I have no definite idea whatsoever for my patient’s primary diagnosis. Clue.. general weakness, tiredness, was admitted to the hosp after a routine medical check up at a polyclinic for a blood analysis, had Herpes zoster infection 1 year ago. Palpable unilateral cervical lymph nodes - small, liver non palpable, spleen - saya akan check balik hari ni haha.. More Clue: Warded in Hematology department. Since for the past 2 days I have only learnt about AML,ALL & CML, CLL…. chances are any of these 4 lah kut kan?. I asked him what he has been taking during his stay in the hosp. He said only took Prednisolone. CLL? Heee. Main tipu lah.. Further lab investigation needed. But if in this case, what should i put as my primary diagnosis?. Trow ntah tatau camne la nak present case kat Dr Harry Potter. Bantai ah. Hematology histo pun ntah ke mane ntah letak dlm kepala otak ni.

So back to my fitness craze thingy..

I registered last Sunday. After a brief moment with the instructor, i went to its cycling class - Best. Will go again. Yea yea yea. (and then after that makan nachos at Siam food court - memang!!). 

  • On Monday I went for a routine cardio workout (threadmill & cycling) and after that went to its Body Pump class - Best GIle Baabas! I was fascinated with their weird equipments and all (dah kata dah seribu tahun tak work out kut! - jakunlah.). 
  • On TUesday (Constitution day = holiday) went for Tae-Bo(yes as in dush dush kick and box - reminds me of my ‘hot hot chicken shit’ kickboxing class in KL)  & Strip Dance Class. - BOdy ache from head to toe till now. Strip dance yeah (Strip as in not- literally kay).. Hehe.. Dont play play. 
  • On Wednesday - I went to its Yoga Beginner class. Hmm.. after stretching… sedap sikit badan after all those kicking and boxing, running and dancing the day before. 

Trow im going to Step COmbo class before doing usual cardio threadmill workout. 

On Friday im planning to go to its BOdy Pump & Abs-Stretch class. and on Saturday.. well see how it goes later k. 

 

Woo. Semangat gila babas. I hope this thing is not a hot hot chicken shit thing yeah.

Geez its so warm tonight I am literally sweating now. GUess I wont be needing that extra heater for a while. 

Sooo….whats new eh.. one week never update my blog.

  1. Joining Sokol Fitness Club tomorrow.. i mean today (its 2am now and im still awake). Thank you abah for sponsoring your daughter’s mission to be thin.. eh silap…. healthy. Haha. 
  2. Still cant memorize Med Psycho notes word-by-word and I am prepared to repeat the topics again for this coming credit test. WIl be glad to bring forward my Psychiatry’s otravotkas to next sem.
  3. Med Psycho + Psychiatry … definitely not in my ‘to-consider-as-specialization’ list. 
  4. Tempted to go to a masquerade party last night (after they cancelled the Nigerian nite at Avrora hotel) but to think again of the post-party tiredness, resisted it. Plus need to spend on only really necessary things this month. 
  5. I am 46kg yesterday when Tinie read my weighing scale. But I still feel fat. Too good to be true pun ade juga. Perhaps because Ive been sleeping too much and ate sushi 2 days in a row. Chong’s cafe rocks. Cheap sushi.. dapat discount dari tauke lagi. Salute him! 
  6. I guess Ive already used 1GB this month since my internet connection is very slow gosh you have no idea. Everything comes with fine prints yeah. Wish I am in an apartment to get a 1MBps unlimited broadband. Let me rephrase that. Wish I am living an apartment (without having to rent it and pay for those other stuff) … how about like staying in my current hostel but with the unlimited broadband part. Haha.
Nota Bene: Sometimes, my writings are greatly influenced by my emotional state and those writings can be very bias with some unfair personal judgments. But as this is a blog. And this is why I call it my ‘writing therapy’. 

Yesterday, a group of Malaysian delegates came over to my place as part of reassessment of all universities in Russia. My uni is the 3rd one after MMA and RSMU. These people are ‘powerful people’ from Malaysia’s Health Department. Among present were Tan Sri Ismael Merican, our current health director and a few of his peers including an O&G specialist, orthopedics specialist and others. They all join some of the student’s class session in hospital and in uni. They said this visit has made them understand the Russian education system better but the most shocking part, they said our some of our knowledges are like the post graduates in Malaysia.  Dah sini menghafal sane sini. Cuba try masuk class ENT Prof Kunop siang malam pagi petang menghafal his book  trying to avoid failing his class takut otravotka yang membebankan. Here not like Malaysia.. gi class have to prepare or else if you fail certain classes (e.g. cannot answer when teacher asks you questions / written test).. must repeat the class which is very the hassle one.. Kalau cikgu tu baik he/she will try to avoid giving you 2 (fail) for daily class. Kena cikgu yang asyik nak kantoi budak.. Mati lah. Klaka .. sure diorang terkejut dengan cara orang Russia.. with the secondary shoes before going into the hospital departments and among other weird things which were quite pelik to us too when we first came here. But as what people said, alah bisa tegal biasa. My friend said diorang terkial jawab during surgery class and the Malaysian doctors were bewildered to hear about some of the Russian clinical signs for acute pancreatitis. Nama pelik pelik semua keluar. 

 

A meeting was held in the evening later on between the 5th and 6th year students and them. During the dialogue session, I asked them about the shortcomings of the Russian graduates and on which area do we need to emphasize on as a preparation before we work later on. The answer is, as I have suspected, is on our practicals. Tan Sri Ismael Merican gave  us a very inspiring speech. He said that being graduated with our Dr title is just the beginning of a life long journey and we must not be discouraged, and must have a sense of humility when we work later on. Medicine is a life learning process and I totally agree on that. Salute lah diorang ni. 

 

Ok here come the best part. THey visited my room! After the meeting ended, we were outside and the Malaysian delegates came out from the pharmacorpus building. I asked them where are they heading to and they said..”we are going to visit your hostel”. I was like whatttt?! Ni confirm bilik aku kene datang sini. Dah kate bilik aku dapat tittle bilik contoh. Kekeke. So after a brief chitchatting with Tan Sri Ismael Merican, I excused myself and cepat cepat lari  to my room to kemas kemas ape yang patut. Thank god bilik dah memang kemas. Poster poster ngarut memang cabut habis takut kene tiong hahahahaha…. Hid si kenit Liubi in Kak Hir’s unit takut commandent hostel nampak tak pasal pasal kene lecture. Everyone said my room cantik! Hehe. Sayang  lupa nak tunjuk bendera malaysia the one we hang blakang pintu. They were kinda surprised to see that we have our own fridge, tv and so on. ANd I told them about how we need to pandai pandai maximize the space and make ourselves comfortable here like buying your own double decker as an alternative to the given hostel’s bed. 

 

So, their visits here had clarified us on the most important thing. Our uni’s recognition and the medical qualifying exam yang diura-urakan. He said we dont have to worry about it and we should continue studying and prepare for our career in the future. Here I am thinking that my knowledge will never be enough or good enough.. the more you study, the more you will think that you dont know a lot of things.. Tak payah lah jadi genius. Genius genius gila pule jadi. My psych teacher told us that most genius people end up having a psychiatry problem. Did I tell you about this one 16 years old russian student who did 5th year medicine but ended up killing one of his groupmates during class with a scalpel because he said a voice told him to do so. Last last masuk lah Ickra…nun di hujung sane di sempadan bumi Kursk ini.

 

Wohoho excited nyer Tan Sri Ismail Merican visited our room!!! Hehehe.

With Tan Sri Ismail Merican..

That F-B* made him choose btw family and lovers. That F-B* is obviously not a good news. If she’s a good person, she will be the other way round. Konon said he had to end a relationship with his ex because she always  made him choose btw she and family. Think again now. I assume this will be the end of our family ties as long as my brother is with that F-B*. And she of course, will be jumping with whole lot of joy. Congratulations.
